Games console repair in Reigate, Dorking and Horley
Overheating, a loud fan, a failed update or a Joy-Con that drifts? I repair PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles, with the price agreed before I start.
What I fix
PS5 and PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED and Switch Lite.
- Overheating, loud fans and sudden shutdowns: a full clean and fresh thermal paste (from £55, PS5 from £70)
- Failed updates and consoles stuck starting up: system software reinstall (from £45)
- Joy-Con drift: a new stick fitted (from £25 plus parts per Joy-Con)
More space and faster loading
- PS4 hard drive swapped for an SSD, with your games and saves moved across where possible (from £55 plus parts)
- Extra PS5 storage (M.2 SSD) fitted and set up (from £25 plus parts)
What I don’t do yet
Stick drift on PlayStation and Xbox controllers, and HDMI port replacements, need board-level soldering. I don’t offer these yet, so I’ll refer you to a trusted specialist.
Common questions
My Joy-Con drifts. Should I pay for a repair?
Try Nintendo first. Nintendo currently repairs Joy-Con drift free in the UK, even out of warranty, but may refuse a Joy-Con that someone else has opened. If you’d rather not wait, or Nintendo won’t repair it, I can fit a new stick.
Will I lose my games and saves?
A clean and repaste doesn’t touch your data. Before a storage upgrade or software reinstall, I’ll back up what I can. Saves stored in the cloud stay safe, and games can be downloaded again. I’ll explain what will happen before I start.
What should I bring?
Just the console and its power lead, or only the Joy-Con for a Joy-Con repair.
What if the fault isn’t listed?
I’ll check it with a £25 diagnostic, free if you go ahead with the repair. If it needs specialist work I don’t do, I’ll refer you to a trusted specialist.
How long does a console repair take?
Most repairs are done within 7 days. If I need to order a part, I’ll give you a time with your quote.
